Considering there's no photo of him in a Shrewsbury kit, I think he must've been a reserve. Excellent spot though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoismakoto 328 Posted August 1, 2023 Comprehensive list of Brazilian players who suffered from dementia dated 2016. I think only 2 players on the list are still alive: João "Zico" Dias, and Nair Jose da Silva. No wiki page for Zico but has a Zerozero profile. Nair Jose strangely only has Polish wiki page despite never playing in Europe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,529 Posted August 21, 2023 Article here about a "memory club" for ex-Rotherham players with dementia. Lists Dave Watson and Trevor Womble from the OP but nobody new, although it says that similar schemes have been or are being launched at QPR, Chesterfield, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, so could be a chance to grab names there.

Nobody's too young. Sorry to hear this. I note in his Wiki profile that he suffered a number of head injuries in his career which improbably included Stockport County and Ayr United. Concussion syndrome forced him to retire in 1995.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like his dementia is very advanced if he remembers the US giving Italy a "mighty scare" at the 1990 WC, being as Giuseppe Giannini scored within the first 15 minutes and the rest of the match saw the Azzurri miss the barn door with endless shots (including a missed penalty) against what was effectively an amateur team.

I thought the players are listed for 60 years old above. I think I remember there was a player who was already diagnosed with early onset dementia in his 40s. I also found one player who does not have a wiki but has a transfermarket profile and is a former U19 Dutch player. He is only 58 years old. I can't find the article or the player's name now.

No, any footballer with dementia can go on the list, regardless of age. Obviously there aren't many under 60, thankfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,605 Posted September 5, 2023 Reading Gabby Logan’s book I’m not sure her dad Terry Yorath had been diagnosed with dementia by the time she wrote it last year. I don’t think she would talk about a cancelled visit in 2021 the way she did if she knows he has dementia. She says he has diabetes and that has slowed down his alcoholism. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
